ORNAMENTING AND EMBOSSING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,847, dated January21, 1890. Application filed April 10, 1889. Serial No. 306,669. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:-

Be itknown that I, EMANUEL GEISEL, a subject of the Emperor of Germany,residing at Newarlgin the county of Essex and State of -New Jersey, haveinvented certain new and ence being had to .the accompanying drawings,and to letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

The object of this invention is the ornamenting of gold, silver, orother metallic plates by a machine, whereby it can be done much quickerand cheaper and'more uniform than when done by hand.

The invention consists in the improved ornamenting and embossing machineand the combination and arrangement of parts thereof, as will behereinafter more fully set forth, and finally embodied in I theclausesof the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in j which like letters andfigures of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the severalfigures, Figure 1 is a front view of an engraving orembossin g machineembodyin g my improvements. Fig. 2 is a left end view of the same. Fig.3 is a view of a portion of the right end, showing the arrangement ofthe belt-shipper. Fig. 4. is an enlarged side view of the toolholder anda tool. Fig. 5 is a front view of the same. Fig. 6 is a section throughline 3 Fig. 2. Fig. '7 is a sectional view on line y, Fig. 2. Fig. 8 isa plan view of the upper part of the metal portion of the bed-plate,showing aroughened surface to hold the cement or elastic bed on whichthe plate to be ornamented or embossed rests, and Fig. 9 is a plan viewof an ornamented or embossed plate.

In said drawings, A represents the bed ofa machine, provided withupright standards 13 C, firmly secured thereto, and a curvedforward-projecting standard or support D for a tool-holder E. To thestandard 0 is firmly secured an outwardly-projecting support F. The topof the standards B and C are slotted to receive bearings a a, in whichrevolves a main driving-shaft Z). I On this shaft are twodriving-pulleys c 0, one of said pulleys being rigidly secured to theshaft and the other adapted to revolve loosely on said shaft. On one endof the shaft b and outside of the standard is rigidly secured a wheel ordisk d, concentric with the shaft and provided with openings (1'' atvarious places on its face to receive apin or screw c. (Shown in Fig.2.) The outer end of the arm or support F is slotted I to receive a pinf, 011 which oscillates a bar g, provided at one end with an open slot gand at the other end with an elongated slot 9 in which reciprocates thepin c. In the open slot g is removably secured by a set-screw g lowerportion, as shown at 7.2 forming a rightangled shoulder to rest upon anannular spring 777. in the bottom of the cylindrical opening in thetool-holder E, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6. The bar it and contractedportion 7."? are provided with a vertical cylindrical slot to receivethe shank of an embossing or ornamenting tool a. The front of thetool-holder is formed with an opening 0 to receive a block 19, which isrigidly secured to the bar It, or made integral therewith, as preferred.Through this block 1) is a threaded opening, in which fits an adjListing-screw p provided with a circular head g. This head is providedon its outer periphery with grooves or notches o to receive the ends ofa curved holding and binding spring 8, secured to the portion E of thetool-holder E, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. A loose hand-guide piece 25,of ordinary construction and arrangement, is shown in Figs. 2 and 7,provided with a eylindric-al opening, in'which rests the round dependingportion a of a bed u, corrugated or roughened on the surface, as shownat 10 Figs. 7 and 8, to hold a cement or yielding material 0), uponwhich rests the metal plate to be embossed or ornamented.

To the rear of the standard 13 is firmly secured a block 1, providedwith a slot 2, in which slides a bar 3, having on its one end aprojecting handle 4 for operating it.

To the inner end of the bar 3 are secured upwardly-curved andover-extending bars 5 5, between which the driving-belt 6 passes. Bymoving the handle the belt is shifted from the loose pulley to the tightpulley, or vice versa, as will be clearly understood.

In operating my improved machine the metal plate to be embossed orornamented is placed upon the top of the yielding piece '0'. The machineis then set in motion by sliding the belt-shipper. The oscillatingmotion imparted to the arm or rod 9 causes the 11ammer to reciprocate,and in its downward motion strike upon the cap on top of the tool-holdercarrying the tool, thus causing the point or lower edge of thetooltoimpinge upon the metal plate. The combined action of the springplate h,annular spring m,-and the yielding construction 1; prevents the point orend of the tool from being driven through the metal plate. By turningthe hand portion 25 the point of the tool can be presented to anyportion of the surface of the metal plate desired. To change distance ofthe stroke of the hammer, the pin 6 is removed andinserted in such holein the disk at as may be desired. The hammer, with its spring-holder, ismade removable from the bar g, so that hammers of varying weight andstiffness of spring can be employed. The belt-shipper having its armcurved over to project beyond both portions of the belt serves also tokeep the belt in position and prevent its running off thedriving-pulleys.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an ornamenting or embossing machine, a spring-hammer-drivingmechanism consisting of a rod pivoted to the frame of the machine,- anda spring-hamm er removably secured to one end of said rod, the other endof said rod having an elongated slot to receive a pin adjustably securedto a disk or wheel on the main shaft, as described, and for the purposesset forth.

2. In an ornamenting or embossing machine, a tool-carrying mechanismconsisting of the part E, secured to said machine, part E, removablysecured to said part E, toolshaft is lct'spring m, removable cap it toreceive the blow of a hammer, and a central slot in the lower portion ofsaid tool-shaft to receive the engraving or embossing tool, all saidparts being arranged as described, and for the purposes set forth.

3. In 'an ornamenting or embossing machine, a toolcarrying mechanismconsisting of the part E, secured to said machine, part E, removablysecured to said part E, tool shaft is 70 spring m, removable cap 70, tosecure the blow of a hammer, a central slot in the lower portion of saidtool-shaft to secure the tool-block 19, secured to said tool-shaft,set-screw p, slotted screw-head q, and curved spring 3, connected at oneend to the toolholder and at the other end adapted to rest in thegrooves in said screw-head, all as described, and for the purposes setforth.

4. In an ornamenting or embossing machine, the combination, With themain driving-shaft, of a perforated disk rigidly secured to said mainshaft and an adjustable pin adapted to enter any one of saidperforations and pivotally and directly connecting said disk with theslotted pivoted leverof the hammer-driving mechanism, as described, andfor the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this9th day of March, 1889.
